Actresses Needed, 20's-30. (Portland)
This is for a fun scene in a local indie web series. Looking for a 3 actresses to play of a trio of "bad" girls (a BLONDE, BRUNETTE and RAVEN-haired) recruited by a villain for a "job." This is not a big action scene with big stunts. It is a character scene with "tough" talk and a bit of action. The shoot will be relaxed and fun. No budget for pay at this time.
The scene will be shot later this Summer, but I'm looking for a group of potential candidates to call on when the time comes to provide the right mix of chemistry in portraying the 3 women. If interested, please send resume/photos and I'll send script and set auditions. Thanks.

African American Actor Needed 1-2 days Students welcome! (Portland Area)
I'm looking to produce a short video in the next couple weeks to enter into a video contest in Idaho. I'm in need of a younger African-American male to play the lead role. The project is pretty simple and short and the duration would only be 1-2 days.
There is no pay up-front, however it will be great to add to a personal reel/resume. If my video does win any prize money, a small payment would be negotiable! Just a tiny bit about the project itself: the video is a sort of parody of an NBA star.
Please e-mail me with your name, experience, and any other materials (demos, photos) you may have.
Thanks.

DISCORD - Short Film Casting (Pacific NW)
Casting for short film to be shot in early fall.
DISCORD
Discord is about the tension in a relationship caused by differing opinions on the morality of child-rearing, ie should two people in a struggling relationship have a child? This central conflict between Irvin and Marietta, the film's protagonists, is back-dropped by two menacing mysteries -- the first is the sudden disappearance of Luz, a neighborhood child who Marietta babysits, and the second is a creepy spider that Irvin continues to come across throughout the course of the film. Discord will feature elements of gritty neo-realist films while making intermittent and surprising use of magical realism.
Casting for the following character roles:
Irvin: 18-25. The film's protagonist. He's a fit dude, he's Native American, and he does some martial arts in the film.
Marietta: 18-25. Irvin's girlfriend and co-protagonist of the film. Marietta is an attractive Chicana who wants to have a child with Irvin. She's prone to emotional outbursts.
Rollo: 18-30. A tall, Caucasian drug-dealer. Rollo is a classic wangster with alot of swagger. He's interested in Marietta, and his overt flirtation with Marietta leads to a fight scene between Rollo and Irvin.
Luz: 4-6. A little neighborhood girl who Marietta babysits. Luz is an ethnic child -likely Mexican- she has two scenes in the film and limited (somewhat flexible) lines.
Cop 1: 30-45. A veteran police officer who interrogates Irvin when Luz goes missing.
Cop 2: 30-45. Cop 1's backup.
The Neighbor: 18-35. Irvin's beer drinking, cigarette smoking neighbor.
Mr. Fapimai: 40-65. A stocky Thai man who owns the fish shop that Irvin works at. Limited lines, some in Thai.

Casting Call for Non-Union short film
Hello all,
I am currently casting for an upcoming short film. I am looking to cast the 4 remaining roles. This short film will be shot in HD and will be submitted to festivals galore! In a way this is a silent film, as there are no words, but you will be speaking during the different scenes, but in the final cut we will not hear any of what is being said, much like a music video if you need an example. Here is the breakdown of the characters.
Old Man: Male. Late 40's- Mid 50's, larger build, however not necessarily fat or buff,normal looking father figure, but with a few days growth, has a dark and secretive side. *Please note: you MUST be comfortable with doing a choreographed rape scene. It will be done with the utmost respect to the actors , but it does demand some pushing, shoving, throwing, etc.*
Girlfriend: Female. Late Teens(16-19), cute, attractive, under 5'11". I'm open to all hair types and ethnicity's.
Mother: Late 30's-40's. Caucasian. Typical mother looking, loving, hates her husband.
Father: Early- Mid 40's.Caucasian. Typical looking father, hates his wife, prefer either a mustache or beard(short)
This film will be a great short film with a lot of opportunity for improv and input. This is a NON-PAID NON-UNION short film. However you will be given food, credit, and copy, of course. Each scene will be done individually so to keep the crew and cast to a minimum. I work fast but I also work until we get what we need, but generally speaking, we can get what we need in half a day, so not much time will be required by the cast. I have a great deal of excitement for this film and as with all of my sets it is a lot of fun as well as very professional. Please email headshots and resumes to windingtreeproductions@gmail.com and in the subject line please specify which role you are submitting for. Thank you all very much!
Happy Submitting,
Kyle Buckland

Casting Call: Host for Educational Videos about the Court System
MetroEast Community Media is casting for a lead/host for a quick paced, stylized
segment based video series intended to educate the public about the court system
in Multnomah County. Auditions will be set Tuesday July 5th, 1pm to 7pm.
We're looking for an energetic, enthusiastic and well spoken female, between the
ages of 30 and 40 with a hip yet professional look to act as the host,
delivering complex and academic information in a fluid and fun manner, from a
variety of locations around Portland. The host acts as a "straight-woman" to a
slightly more comic "sidekick" but ideally has her own understated sense of
humor. Think Tina Fey or Ellen acting as a representative of the court system:
smart, up-beat, a little zany at times, always high energy, and able to walk the
line between serious and a little silly. Versatility is key.
This video series has a similar feel to shows like "Good Eats" and "Bill Nye the
Science Guy." (This model appeals to a broad audience, is stylized and quick
paced, visually interesting, and content heavy. The goal is to educate by
capturing and keeping audience interest.) The primary shooting is for 2 fifteen
minute videos, with several five minute pieces on related topics to follow.
Film or theatrical acting experience a must, and an academic or legal background
a plus, but not essential. Must be available some weekends, and some weekday
afternoons.
Timeframe: Primary shooting for the 2 fifteen minute videos will begin mid to
late July, and continue through the end of August and potentially the beginning
of September. Estimated total time commitment is 2 to 3 full weekends, and 7
half-days during the week or on a weekend. Specific dates TBD.
Compensation: Nominal gratuity TBD for key role.
This casting call is primarily for the host, however we are open to auditioning
duos who already have some chemistry working in their favor to present a
"straightwoman-sidekick" combo.
Please e-mail Emily (emily@...) with a resume and head shot, and if
possible a link to any online video samples or reel.
MetroEast Community Media is a local non-profit media center committed to using
media to invigorate civic engagement, inspire diverse voices and strengthen
community life. We believe passionately in the unrealized potential of
technology to build community by engaging people and organizations, including
the underrepresented. We support active participation in the democratic process
by providing people with access to communications technology and opportunities
to engage in civic dialogue.
Our facility is located at 829 NE 8th Street in Gresham, Oregon.

Casting Call for Non-Union short film
Hello all,
I am currently casting for an upcoming short film. I am looking to cast the 4 remaining roles. This short film will be shot in HD and will be submitted to festivals galore! In a way this is a silent film, as there are no words, but you will be speaking during the different scenes, but in the final cut we will not hear any of what is being said, much like a music video if you need an example. Here is the breakdown of the characters.
Old Man: Male. Late 40's- Mid 50's, larger build, however not necessarily fat or buff,normal looking father figure, but with a few days growth, has a dark and secretive side. *Please note: you MUST be comfortable with doing a choreographed rape scene. It will be done with the utmost respect to the actors , but it does demand some pushing, shoving, throwing, etc.*
Girlfriend: Female. Late Teens(16-19), cute, attractive, under 5'11". I'm open to all hair types and ethnicity's.
Mother: Late 30's-40's. Caucasian. Typical mother looking, loving, hates her husband.
Father: Early- Mid 40's.Caucasian. Typical looking father, hates his wife, prefer either a mustache or beard(short)
This film will be a great short film with a lot of opportunity for improv and input. This is a NON-PAID NON-UNION short film. However you will be given food, credit, and copy, of course. Each scene will be done individually so to keep the crew and cast to a minimum. I work fast but I also work until we get what we need, but generally speaking, we can get what we need in half a day, so not much time will be required by the cast. I have a great deal of excitement for this film and as with all of my sets it is a lot of fun as well as very professional. Please email headshots and resumes to windingtreeproductions@gmail.com and in the subject line please specify which role you are submitting for. Thank you all very much!
Happy Submitting,
Kyle Buckland
Owner of Winding Tree Productions

Casting Call: Host for Educational Videos about the Court System
MetroEast Community Media is casting for a lead/host for a quick paced, stylized
segment based video series intended to educate the public about the court system
in Multnomah County. Auditions will be set Tuesday July 5th, 1pm to 7pm.
We're looking for an energetic, enthusiastic and well spoken female, between the
ages of 30 and 40 with a hip yet professional look to act as the host,
delivering complex and academic information in a fluid and fun manner, from a
variety of locations around Portland. The host acts as a "straight-woman" to a
slightly more comic "sidekick" but ideally has her own understated sense of
humor. Think Tina Fey or Ellen acting as a representative of the court system:
smart, up-beat, a little zany at times, always high energy, and able to walk the
line between serious and a little silly. Versatility is key.
This video series has a similar feel to shows like "Good Eats" and "Bill Nye the
Science Guy." (This model appeals to a broad audience, is stylized and quick
paced, visually interesting, and content heavy. The goal is to educate by
capturing and keeping audience interest.) The primary shooting is for 2 fifteen
minute videos, with several five minute pieces on related topics to follow.
Film or theatrical acting experience a must, and an academic or legal background
a plus, but not essential. Must be available some weekends, and some weekday
afternoons.
Timeframe: Primary shooting for the 2 fifteen minute videos will begin mid to
late July, and continue through the end of August and potentially the beginning
of September. Estimated total time commitment is 2 to 3 full weekends, and 7
half-days during the week or on a weekend. Specific dates TBD.
Compensation: Nominal gratuity TBD for key role.
This casting call is primarily for the host, however we are open to auditioning
duos who already have some chemistry working in their favor to present a
"straightwoman-sidekick" combo.
Please e-mail Emily (emily@...) with a resume and head shot, and if
possible a link to any online video samples or reel.
MetroEast Community Media is a local non-profit media center committed to using
media to invigorate civic engagement, inspire diverse voices and strengthen
community life. We believe passionately in the unrealized potential of
technology to build community by engaging people and organizations, including
the underrepresented. We support active participation in the democratic process
by providing people with access to communications technology and opportunities
to engage in civic dialogue.
Our facility is located at 829 NE 8th Street in Gresham, Oregon.

Imago Auditions - National Tour
ZooZoo Auditions
July 13, 6PM Imago Theatre
Imago Theatre is holding open auditions for its international touring production ZooZoo on July 13, 6PM at Imago Theatre, 17 SE 8th Avenue.
Physical performers from the age of 18 to 39 are encouraged to audition.
No prepared audition material is required. Arrive at 6PM and sign in. This is a group audition and functions much like a workshop. Wear athletic or dance wear. Bring a photo and if available resume. If you don’t have a resume write short paragraph of your performance experience.
Must be a US citizen, or have a SS # to be able to legally work in the United States. Must by 18 years or older.
If you are traveling from out of town to attend this audition, please contact Jerry at email below before you make your plans.
Compensation is $475 per week, plus all travel expense and per diem.
ZooZoo is Imago’s world-class touring production, now contracted with prestigious touring agency Opus 3 Artists, and recently featured on Broadway at the New Victory Theatre. As the culmination of more than thirty years of innovation by directors Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, ZooZoo is an evolution of the best of Imago’s signature touring shows, FROGZ and Biglittlethings. This alchemy of illusion, mime, dance, acrobatics, original music and masks offers audiences worldwide an imaginative, sophisticated show for all ages. In a series of vignettes and solo pieces, universal themes are presented with a light touch, as animals take on human characteristics and inanimate objects spring to mischievous life. Fireflies come together to make shapes in the dark, they wink as eyes, later transforming into a flock of birds, frogs reveal the underlying tension of their stillness, a hippo couple struggles for their side of a too-small bed, a paper bag comes to life and balances delicately above the ground, a family of polar bears dances and mingles with the audience, and penguins compete against each other in a heated game of musical chairs. In ZooZoo’s final piece, Paper, the actors appear as humans, masked in red bodysuits. They dance and tumble across the stage, and in a thrilling finale, each actor’s identity is at last revealed.
“Sure fire, very funny!”
The New York Times
“You can't do better than Imago Theatre’s ZooZoo . . . magical. . . skillfully shaped. . . mask and mime theater at its best. . . wonderfully wacky. . . saturated with eccentric personality and humor. . . Artful as well as entertaining. . . a show that anyone can enjoy seeing again and again.”
Richard Wattenberg, The Oregonian
“a blur of magic. . . hysterical and exciting. . . supremely theatrical spectacle. . . completely immersing. . . exactly as satisfying as great clown and mask can be. . . as exciting as the finale of any fireworks show and perhaps among the more purely gratifying moments of theatre I have seen. . . moments so fun, I don't think I could have helped but giggle like a child.”
Wendy Remington Bowie, NY Theatre.com
"Kids Go Wild for ZooZoo...Wow! is all I can say... Every minute... was engaging and hysterical... laugh out loud throughout the whole show... completely original and unlike anything I have ever seen before... a perfect first theatre experience for children!"

If you are available and interested - I will be making calls and holding one on one reads this week. If you have a demo reel or links to previous work online that is a plus.
We are low budget, however what budget we have is going to broadcast quality production values with a very experienced crew. We have strong distribution contacts and this is a highly commericial project. I am sorry there is not pay for this role.

Actresses Needed, 20's-30. (Portland)
This is for a fun scene in a local indie web series. Looking for a 3 actresses to play of a trio of "bad" girls (a BLONDE, BRUNETTE and RAVEN-haired) recruited by a villain for a "job." This isn't a big action scene with big stunts. It is a character scene with "tough" talk and a bit of action and it will be fun. No budget for pay at this time.
The scene will be shot later this Summer, but I'm looking for a group of potential candidates to call on when the time comes to provide the right mix of chemistry in portraying the 3 women. If interested, please send resume/photos and I'll send script. Thanks.
